Blackstone Edge
Blackstone Edge reservoir is on the border between Calderdale in West Yorkshire and Rochdale in Greater Manchester. It stands at just over 380 metres above sea level, on very few days of the year does it look as calm as this. There are many occasions when the weather is so bad, the wind blows the water over the wall I’m leaning on and across the road behind me. It is a popular area for walkers, with a choice of several routes around the reservoir and across the moors. Warm clothing and wet weather gear is advisable at most times of year.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Sunrise a couple of Fridays ago. Initially, there was a thin layer of mist across the moors looking back to Sheffield. But it built up as the sun rose on the wet landscape.
I don't find this area wasy to find compositions. But my main aim was to capture the heather.

I think this is my favourite image from that morning's shoot and the last image I took. Taken some time after sunrise, the sun starts to light up the trees below the edge.
With the woodland below, Froggatt Edge feels a little bit wilder than its neighbouring cliff edge to the south.

This is another shot of DeSoto Falls in Northeast Alabama. From this spot, the water drops 104 feet. I love this waterfall and the entire area surrounding it.

Bluff Lake, Goat Rocks Wilderness, Washington
In my quest to avoid the huge summer crowds that have overrun many of the popular hiking destinations in Washington, I ventured out to a rarely visited area of the beautiful Goat Rocks Wilderness to check out the trail to Bluff Lake. So named because unlike many alpine lakes, it does not sit down in a basin or cirque, instead it perches on the edge of a cliff. (Not far beyond those trees at the far end of the lake is a 1500 foot drop off!)
Much of this trail is in the process of being restored after it was destroyed in a wildfire a few years ago. The section up to the lake was largely untouched by the fire, although you can see some burned trees in the photo as this was the edge of the burn zone. Beyond the lake however, the forest was completely devastated. Dead trees and burn snags created an eerie "ghost forest", with not a living tree in sight, and the trail surface felt like hiking through sand, but was actually a thick layer of ash.
Fortunately some patches of brightly blooming fireweed, and an abundance of alpine strawberry plants sprawling over what used to be the forest floor spoke to the renewal that nature already has underway - and added a somewhat incongruously cheerful note to the otherwise apocalyptic scene.
The main reward of this hike though, other than the lovely lake, was the quiet and solitude. After miles of driving on a maze of forest roads, the first thing I noticed at the trailhead was how absolutely quiet it was. And other than a small group of backpackers hiking out on my way in, and one other hiker leaving the lake as I was arriving, I encountered no other people on the trail.
one block west of my house is the far edge of town... and the far edge of the world, it often feels like
"The beauty of the world, which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder."

A narrow waterfall where the Crooked Edge Brook meets the River Douglas. Located in Tiger's Clough ravine*
Quite dark in the ravine with the occasional bit of light. Unsurprisingly, very green. Even with the recent heavy rain the brook was easy to navigate with waterproof boots(i still need to sort out new wellies!).

Edge waves travel along the west coast due to the shallow shelving beach and rips pulling water sideways and outwards. They don't have the power to reflect back out into the ocean. Always a place of great mood and beauty, but turn your back to the waves at your peril.
I'm happy with how the sunset has vapourised into the horizon in this shot and how a little bit of green lens flare floats in the foreground.

I could see two members of the flat earth society looking towards the end of their small world. I've heard that they have members around the globe ;-)

Some interesting conditions on Curbar Edge this morning. The rainbows came first and a little later, some light on the foreground.

Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley, California
Looking over the edge of a dune towards the southeast flank of Tucki Mountain on a partly cloudy morning.
Humberheads Peatlands National Nature Reserve, near Wroot, North Lincolnshire. Whilst the peatlands and pools are a feature of the reserve there is a lot of Silver Birch woodland. I was on my way into the reserve when the edge caught my attention...the striking white bark against the darker background. It's a blue hour photo, I waited for the sun to rise over my shoulder in the hope of more colour but it rose into a cloud. That said I like the cooler colour and abstract nature of the photo.
Welcome to Coastal edge, an island full of big beaches, cliffs and small hills. Full of wildlife and space to explore, take pictures or relax.
Late afternoon, and the sun is low on the horizon. It is still visible on some very distinctive looking rocks, but hidden behind the rest. The warm light gives the rocks color and delivers an angled edge, adding interest.
On the horizon, the clouds are dark, the slice of light is yellowish, and an ocean lay between. Warm and cold, it is a typical seaside treat.
